Massachusetts registered its highest numbers since May.

And that's going to continue as the weather gets colder and we're indoors more, with kids back in school.
Rhode Island's death rate is among the highest in the nation. A plague state. And no adult supervision.

As of yesterday, Rhode Island has the nation's sixth highest fatality rate at 106 deaths per 100,000. Massachusetts is #3 at 138.

This is just stoooopid. The Northeastern states with the early outbreaks didn’t understand the nursing home problem and nobody had a clue how to treat the disease. Of course the death rates were high. If you’re in Wisconsin in October with your red hat and Trump sign on your lawn, your state has rigorous infection control at the nursing homes and the hospitals know how to treat people based on what was learned back in March-April.

This is not true.

"At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a March 17 letter to Raimondo, RIHCA asked the governor to stop moving hospital patients who remained untested for COVID 19 into nursing homes, saying that ignoring this request for weeks, the transfer of a number of hospital residents was responsible for the initial spread of the virus in the homes."

269 cases today,with 182 from Wed according to Projo. Take a look at the RIDOH cases over time:

This looks more and more concerning! Where are the scientists calling out to the governor to put the brakes on NOW?! Why is she so unconcerned? They must know that disaster is approaching, considering our current rate of increase in cases (and hospitalizations ticking up, now, too!).

The rise in cases is due to the opening of the schools. Perhaps if parents put less pressure on the schools to reopen and/or didn't send their kids in, cases would drop.

It's also due to dopey college students- of whom there are many. And they've come back here from all over the country. https://www.wpri.com/health/coronavi...erson-classes/

Well, I wouldn't blame the parents. They need the childcare, and want their kids to learn. Our government has encouraged the reopening of schools and universities. And they have recently been pushing the more cautious school districts hard to fully reopen - despite a rise in cases. Plus, people knew opening colleges would lead to further spread.
